[Verse 1]
[C]On a summer's
day in the month of May,
the [F]burly bum come a [C]-hikin'
down the [G]shady lane,
through the [C]sugar cane,
he was [G]lookin' for his [C]lichen.
As he rode along
and he hummed a song
on a [F]land of milk and [C]honey
Where a [G]bum can live for [C]many a days
and [G]don't need very much [C]money
Oh, the buzzing of the bees
and the cigarette trees
and the [F]soda water foun[C]tain
Where the [G]lemonade springs
and the [C]bluebird sings
and the [G]big rock candy [C]mountain
[F][C][G][C]
[G][C]
There's a lake of gin we can all jump in
and the [F]handouts come in [C]bunches.
You can sleep [G]all day in the [C]Newmont hay
and the [G]bars all have free [C]lunches.
Where the mail train stops
and they don't have cops
and the [F]folks are tender [C]hearted
Where you [G]don't grow rocks,
and they [C]never change socks,
and the [G]hair is never [C]parted.
Oh, the buzzing of the bees,
and the cigarette trees,
and the [F]soda water foun[C]tain,
Where the [G]lemonade springs,
and the [C]bluebird sings,
and the [G]big rock candy
[C]mountain.[F][C][G][C]
[G][C]
And on the run came the farmer's son
To the [F]hay fields he come a [C]-boundin'
Said the [G]bum to the son,
why [C]don't you come
To the [G]Big Rock Candy Moun[C]tain?
Well, the very next day they hiked away
And the [F]mountains they kept a [C]-countin'
For they nev[G]er did arrive
to the [C]lemonade dive
In the [G]Big Rock Candy [C]Mountain
There's a lake of gin we can all jump in
And the [F]handouts grow in [C]bunches
You [G]can sleep all day in
the [C]new -mown hay
And the [G]bars all have free [C]lunches
Oh, the buzzing of the bees
and the cigarette trees
And the [F]soda water foun[C]tains
Where the [G]lemonade springs
and the [C]bluebird sings
In the [G]Big Rock Candy [C]Mountain
You
